INTERESllfiG DEBATE IS EXPECTED
Judge Old, of Virginia, Moved to j
Strike Out Word. Dut His Was Voted
Down?Another Debate Started by|
Chicago Delegate?Gco'gla Diocese,
Divided.
(lly Associated Press.)
It ICH.MOND. VA., Oct. S.?The
Episcopal convention held an interest-1
inj; session in both houses this morn-'
ing, the bishops discussing the ques?
tion of dividing the church into night
provinces, each to hold a synod year?
ly, at which the bishops, presbyter*
and,laymen will sit.
No action was taken.
The house nt deputies spent the.
morning in discussing rules of busi?
ness and many sharp speeches wore
made both by those who favored and
opposed the rules offered by Mr. Fran,
els l.ynde Stetson, of New York, In?
troduced by Congressman Bounders,
of Virginia, who offered many amend?
ments. I
Judge Saunders finally carried bis
point with but two exceptions, after j
prolonged debate, Mr. Stetson accept?
ing his .suggestions except in two In?
stances.
Proposed Change in Name.
Later In the day Dr. Huntington, of
New York, spoke In favor of Iiis pro?
posed preamble which many believe
to he an attempt to change the tltlo
of the church from Protestant Episco?
pal Church to American Church.
Judge Old. of Virginia:, spoke, in op?
position, as did Mr. McConnell, of
Louisiana, and several others.
llev. .Jir. Ingold and others favored
the word America. Dr. Huntington
explained that It was necessary to
use the word America to distinguish
the church from the English church,
and this be said was especially ne?
cessary at this time on account of
the recent visit of the Lord Bishop of
London. I
Judge Old moved to strike out tho
word America, but his motion was de?
feated. Before a vote could be taken
a clerical delegate from Chicago
moved to strike out the words "Ac-,
knowledging the Holy scriptures to bo
the record of Cod's revelation of him?
self in his son," and substitute "Ac?
knowledging the Holy scriptures to j
be the woid of God's revelation of
himself in Iiis son."
A Warm Debate Expected.
The suggestion of the Chicago dele?
gate will bring about it is thought a
warm debate on the H?hr tomorrow,
for grave church questions are raised
already, and it is said the suggested
substitute is an attack upon ?r. Hunt?
ington.
The house of bishops concurred in
the resolution permitting the dioceso
of Georgia to divide the diocese.
In Joint Session*
This afternoon a joint session of the .
two botlies beard Bishop Graves of
china, ami Bishop McKIm, of Japan,
and Bishop Brent, of the Philippines,
speak on the church In the Far Bast.
Bishop Brent caused a .sensation by
his criticism of the United Stales gov?
ernment In tho management of the
Philippine Islands.

Were Employed to Trade Counter?
feits for Priceless Relics Held by
the Sanctuaries.
(Dy Associalod ProSS.)
PARIS, Oct. B.?Considerable sensa?
tion has boon calmed by the remark
able confession of Antoni 10. Thomas,
of Clomont-Ferrnnd, who was arrested
with his mother and brother, charged
with complicity in tho theft of the
famous Cope <T Orth, which bclollgod
to tho stale and was valued at $120,
nnn from iho church af Ambasac near
Limoges.
For months, precious relics have
been disappearing from churches,
creating the Impression that a gang
of thieves was systematically at
work. Thomas, who gave himself up
to clear his mother and sister, now
asserts that this story is correct.
Accuses Antiquaries.
He declares that after the passage
of Iho church ami slate separation
law and the taking or the church In?
ventories began, antiquarlos of Paris
some of whom are millionaires, hired
them and others to go through the
country and bribe the parish priests
to surrender the relics and substitute
counterfeits which could bo turned
over lo the state. Ho says tki? e1""
of ?>,...r?*i..,i u.mtlinio.l r>> -mwithsj hut
as many of the most valuable church
treasures could not he counterfeited,
he finally went boldly Into the busi?
ness Of wholesale burglary. Thomas
estimates tho amount of his robberies
nt $400.000.
The Cope of Orth belonged to tho
Order of (irainmont. oz, QramhlQUII
talns. whose monastery was situate;!
at Murlt. near Lliuoges. It disap?
peared during the Kreuch revolution,
when Hie order was dissolved, and
later turned up in the church of Ama
based from which It was stolon.
Sold It in London.
Thomas says be sold it to an anti?
quary of London for $10,000, He
further declares that the antiquaries
of Paris got rid of their "plunder" In
England and America, and announced
his Intention to make a clean breast
of it and expose his accomplices who
have abandoned him.
Another phase of the case is the
discovery of letters at the Thomas
residence Indicating thai I hey have
been engaged in the performance ol
Illegal operations upon society.
A -'Respectable" Merchant.
Thomas apparently was a respecta?
ble merchant in Clermont-Ferrand,
ami Iho arrest of his mother anti
brother caused a flurry or excitement
In the old town.

ATLANTA, OA., Oct. s. That the
lime |s nut far distant when the Cot
ton planters of the South will sell
their, product direct lo the spinner
of Europe und America, instead of
through tin- middleman. In bnlos com
BBOd at plantations with llielho
in which loss has I ??on reduced to
minimum, was Indicated by today's
discussion before the International
Conference of cotton growers und
spinners.
Spinners representing hundreds or
mills ami millions of spindles told the
planters that they were not only will
log hut anxious lo buy their cotton
direct from the planter Just as soon
as the planier can deliver direct. Big
planters um) representatives of the
farmers' union told tho spinnt is of
Europa that already they wer.
gatilxed, had bullt n chain of cotton
wa ohoustv; had perfected a business
system by 'which the spinnets could
purchase an almost unlimited supply
of graded cotton, and were ready
eliminate the anllnuated method of
selling through n middleman.
Must Give Better Service.
* "ttit," -.til ti.-rr Arthur Kurrier. of
Vienna. "If you planters wish to trade
direct with iih you must give us holte
service than the merchants,"
Action furthering this- condltl
